Baardheere on the cusp of falling.
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 4:44 am
Shabab have vacated Fafaxdhuun where they had the biggest garrison stopping an advance on Baardheere. Basically an admission of defeat, may Baardheere fall as lightly as possible. Shabaab's loss of power is evident in the fact it cannot even muster hit and run anymore anywhere in Gedo north of Baardheere. To think they went from putting up stiff resistance in Beled-Xaawo to not even be able to do hit and run anymore even in Garbahareey and now vacating Fafaxdhuun is as great an achievement as their removal from Mogadishu. Baardheere and Kismaayo are the two biggest cities in Jubbaland and Baardheere falling not only brings the Gedo region totally under the control of Dollow-group but also will lead Sade to finally concentrate on setting the stage of sound governance and internationally legitimized alternative administration to anarchy but also leaves the group free to concentrate on Kismaayo.
The takeover is any day now in this week.
